Swedish holistic massage

30 min £30 | 60 min £60 | 90 min £90
​
Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology, as opposed to energy work. It involves kneading and friction techniques to help reduce muscle tension, and long fluid strokes to settle the mind. Tailored to your specific needs, this massage offers gentle to deep pressure to increase circulation, enhance lymphatic drainage and promote relaxation.

Acupressure chair massage

20 min £20| 30 min £30 | 40 min £40

​Seated acupressure massage is based on the traditional Japanese acupressure technique called Anma and stimulates acupressure points in the head, neck, shoulders, spine and lower back. The sequence improves the flow of energy throughout the body and balances and strengthen the body’s muscular, circulatory and nervous systems. Treatments can be done in the workplace, for parties or in the comfort of your own home.

Benefits of Seated massage
This massage is excellent for relieving stress and tension and encouraging knotted, tight muscles to loosen up. It helps with backache, repetitive strain injury, asthma, headaches, migraines, toothache, fatigue, sinus problems, menstrual pain, digestive problems, eyestrain, anxiety, irritability and insomnia. Clients report that after seated acupressure they feel energised and refreshed. 

What happens during a treatment?
The client, fully dressed, sits facing forward in a ergonomically designed massage chair. As the client relaxes and rests their chin and forehead on a thickly padded platform designed for the purpose,  pressure is applied to the acupressure points on the client’s head, neck, shoulders, upper arms and spine. The sequence of movements (called a kata) takes from 20 - 40 minutes.

Reiki

30 min £30 | 60 min £60

The Japanese word Reiki means ‘Universal Energy’. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy which flows through all living things and is vital to well being. This energy can be activated for the purpose of healing and bringing balance and harmony on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Although the teachings of Reiki are relatively new to the West, its origins are based in Buddhist traditions going back to 483BC.  It is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that may be used safely alongside allopathic and holistic health care expanding treatment options.

What benefits does Reiki offer?
Reiki is traditionally used for stress related conditions, recovery from illness, relief from pain, anxiety, bereavement and poor sleep quality. Benefits reported by clients and patients include: healing, energy amplification, stress release, toxicity & emotional release, an increase in awareness and creativity, relaxation and a peaceful sense of wellbeing on all levels.
